A Southern California Statesman Inter-
views Him on the Presidency.
Copyright, 1857 by the California associated Press
Los ANGELES, June Ex-senator STAN
ford on his up-trip stopped at San Fernando
to visit State Senator Maclay. In CONVEX
sation with that gentleman the Senator ex-
pressed his unbounded admiration of
Southern California. He said it was hard
to realize what strides had been made in
the past few years. One could only under
stand it by coming on the ground. 1t will
be the most beautiful part of France dupli-
Gated, with far superior climate. 1t is a
yeritable Garden of Eden. Los Angeles,
especially, shows the vast Improvements
that have been made. There is no place
like it on earth. 1t has most promising
future.
Senator Maclay detailed plan for a rail-
road from Pasadena along the foothills,
running through the Canada on to and
through the Monte Vista region and
Tujanga Colony, through San Fernando on
to the west end of the valley, crossing the
hills at the Simi and then on to San Buena-
ventura.
From the interest the Governor took in
the matter it is probable he will build it.
Touching on political matters, Senator
AhoSidy dohSu uliu W Hat uS tDOuBDL OF the
candidates for the Presidency, and re-
y terred to the suggestion made by Sena-
ESor Edmunds that Stanford was himself
the most available Republican candidate.
The Senator replied that he hadn't given
the matter much thought, and any man
should feel honored with the compliment
but he himself would make no effort to
obtain the nomination. Mr. Maclay told
| him it would be great day for the Pacific
| coast if the nomination was made, and it is
| nearing the time when we should show
| our hands and proclaim Californias favorite
son, Leland Stanford, the choice of the far
West, as our standard bearer for the next
Presidential campaign.
Mr.. Maclay invited him to pay San Fer
nando another visit, to which he replied
:" If we'll and alive Mrs. Stanford will ac-
company me to San Fernando and be pres
| ent at the dedication and opening Of the
college at this place"

The President Thinks it about Time He
Studied Practical Geoyraphy

WASHINGTON, June 2d.-There is every
reason to believe that the promise which
the President recently made to the st.
Louis delegates-that he would, if he could,
visit their city next fall, will be kept, and
that his visit to that city will only be
comparatively small feature of a great and
extensive trip which he has been planning
and the arrangements for which will be
consummated on his return to the White
House. The President has seen but little
of the United States. He has during his
lifetime travelled but little outside of New
York. He has never been in the West at
all, but he had made up his mind of late
that 1t will be to his personal and political
advantage to make an elaborate journey
this year. His wife has persuaded him to
do so as matter of pleasure, and several
Democratic politicians, chief among whom
is Postmaster-General Villas, have urged
him to do so as matter of practical poll
ties. They have told him that the Demo-
Gratis Of the West and Northwest are anx-
ious tosee him, and that his presence out
there may have an encouraging effect on
the party organization.
The fact is the President intends to go
great deal farther in the direction of the
setting sun than st. Louis. If the Presi-
dent can make his arrangements he will
and will probably remain away until the
1st of October. He will travel in special
car containing members of his immediate
household and two or three Cabinet Off
GERS. His intention is to go clear across
the continent to the Pacific coast. The
principal cities on the line of the route will
be visited in Ohio Indiana, Illinois, Mis-
souri, and Minnesota.
Postmaster-GeneralV Villas is particularly
anxious that he should make a good i'm
preston in those States in time for the fall
elections. The President is curious to ex-
plore the Territories aalong the line of the
Northern Pacific railway. and it is now in
his plan to go as far as Portland, Or. In
deed, it is said that he would very much
like to steam up the Pacific Ocean as far
as Alaska, although he has been told that
this would be construed as violation of
the precedent which permits no President
to go outside of the country during bis
term of office. 1t is probable that in going
and coming on this long two months
journey the President and his party will
visit Philadelphia, Pittsburg, ST. Paul, and
possibly Portland and San Francisco,
Omaha, st. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati
and other important cities, in order that
he may come in contact with the people,
and especially with the working poll
ticians.

Western African Savages Pi1aging and
Burning villages.

LONDON, June 2d.-Adviees from Sierra
Leone say that the native warriors under
three chiefs have invaded the British set
tlement of Sherbro and Sultyus, pillaging
and burning villages en- route, and tortur-
ing and killing the natives and inhabitants,
and taking 800 prisoners. On entering
British territory the marauders divided into
two forces, and tried to capture the French
factory at Sulymet and the English factory
on the Manoh river, both of which were
stored with valuable merchandise. Bur-
nett, the English Agent, at the head of ma
tive laborers and police, desperately resisted
the savages, who were compelled to retire
after three attempts, leaving many of their
number dead.
They besieged the station, however, for
four days, when the gunboat Icarius ar
rived on the scene and landed force of
marines, who quickly put the savages TO
flight. The attaches of the French factory
repulsed the attack upon them unaided.
